The New Orleans Pelicans have interest in trading for Markieff Morris.

The Phoenix Suns and Pelicans have held preliminary talks on a trade.

Morris' pending felony aggravated assault charges, however, remains an obstacle to a trade.

The Pelicans would like to pair Morris with Anthony Davis.

Morris has been hounding the Suns for a trade since they traded his brother, Marcus Morris, to the Detroit Pistons in July.

Morris has fallen to third on the struggling Suns’ depth chart at power forward.

The Pelicans are willing to part with Ryan Anderson in a deal. Anderson is making $8.5 million in the final year of his contract.
